A NEW BAD HABIT.
A Boys Narrow Escape From Premature
Burial While Drunk ON Oil Fumes.
Port Allegheny, Pa, Reporter.

Port Allegheny, Pa, Reporter.
On Sunday night, February 10, the APP
parently lifeless body of young man by
the name of Eddie Cavil, whose parents
reside in COrydon, was found in tank
house on the Peter NJ. Smith lease at
Kinzua. The discovery of the body was
made by Eugene English. Physicians
were at once summoned and unavailing
efforts made to bring the boy back to
life. The boys parents Were sent for
and preparations made for the funeral,
which was to have taken place on We'd
nesday last. 1t appears that the boy had
in some manner become addicted to the
habit of going to the various tank
houses in the vicinity, which cover the
tank into which the wells flow, for the
purpose of inhaling the gas.
The thing had got to be as much of a
habit with him as whisky drinking or
opium smoking is To others. The effect
following the inhalation of petroleum gas
is said to be very nearly of the same ma
ture as that of the above mentioned ar
ticles, and the habit of INDUCING in the
breathing of il becomes fully as strong.
On Wednesday, the day appointed for
the funeral and interment, "a large crowd
of relatives. friends and neighbors had
assembled at the house where the sup
posed corpse lay, incased in its coffin and
surrounded by the Borrowing father,
mother, brothers and sisters. The min
lister had given out the hymn to be sung
and the singing was in progress, when
some one standing near the coffin made
the startling discovery that the boy was
alive. No sooner was the discovery made
than the widest confusion reigned.
Physicians were sent for in hot haste,
but ere they could arrive the boy was sit
ting bolt upright in the coffin and was
able to move and speak to those around
him. Later he was again pronounced
dead and has been buried. Great ex-
element prevails in the vicinity and
there is a widespread feeling that he was
buried alive. The body was still warm
when buried

am not so sure about it. III such Is the
case, it has reached Paris, but not with
an American feature in it except the sur
prise. Here is the original way the
event is managed in this city. AT two
hours after midnight, even when the
vice of a great city might be found
asleep, crowd of more than one hun
bred and fifty people approached the en-
trance to a large hotel in the Place Ma
lesherbes. They came to speedy I'M
derstanding with the sleepy concierge
and entered the building. They travers-
ed the halls boldly and with consider
able tumult, and the domestics of both
sexes, who hurredly appeared to ascer-
tain whether it were a fire or an earth
quake, ran back to their rooms in great
terror, conscious that it was neither, but
that it was something equally frightful-
The crowd included actors and actresses,
artists, military men Of all ages and
grades and other people not SD easily
classified. They paused at the chamber
door of the mistress of the house and
sung La Boulangere," one of the pop
ular songs of the day, at the top of
their voices. When this inspiring deed
had been accomplished they made their
way to the drawing room, lit the lamps.
opened the piano and went in to enjoy
themselves. BY the time the lady who
was honored with this surprise had
dressed and appeared upon the scene
ball was in full progress. The lady Joined
in with the best grace imaginable and
the festivities continued until D O'Clock
in the morning. BY that time the stew
and the self-invited guests sat down to
refresh themselves. 1t served for supper
and breakfast, too. The affair was con-
sidered a great success mainly because 1t
was conspicuously Parisian- 1t is doubt
full if America has yet carried the sur
prise party idea quite SO far as to begin
the ceremonies at ? O'Clock in the morn

Yesterday, Mr.. Joseph Price. Collector
of Revenue for Putnam county, applied
to the Board of County Commissioners
for an extension of time for the collec-
ton Of county and State taxes. The
board extended the time for closing the
books one month, at which time they
will positively be closed. The list will
be advertised in May, and the sale will
take place in June.
The people of the county are paying
their taxes very slowly so far, and the
indications are that great deal of prop
erty will be sold for the tax money
Property owners would save themselves
trouble and expense by attending to this
matter at once.
